Fluticasone propionate is a synthetic trifluorinated glucocorticoid available in metered-dose pressurized inhaler and Diskhaler form for asthma prophylaxis.
Fluticasone proprionate has yet to be shown to surpass low dose beclomethasone or budesonide as prophylaxis against asthma (1). Equally, it has still to be shown that it is safer in patients requiring high doses of inhaled corticosteroids, or that fluticasone is any better than beclomethasone or budesonide at reducing the need for oral steroids.
